Huskies Risk
Slender Lead
I Against Ducks
By Tht Associated Press
Clinging precariously to a half game lead, the University of
Washington Huskies put that slender margin on the line this
weekend when they invade Oregon on a trip which may make
or break their championship hopes.
Washington plays the University of Oregon at Eugene Friday
and Saturday nights, then concludes the tour against Oregon
State at Corvallis next Monday and Tuesday nights.
Coach Hoc Edmundson of Washington will settle for an even
break on the road but he may be indeed fortunate if he can
achieve it. His Husmes got omy t-
uregon in
an even sunt wn
'Seattle last weekend, and the
steamed-up Webfoots will be
even tougher on their home
court.!.
Oregon State, which got
waxed in three . out of four
games on Its Inland Empire in
vasion, should be rested and
ready by the time the Huskies
get to Corvallis.
All the division interest won't
be down in the Willamette val
ley this weekend, however.
At Moscow, the Gale Bishop
reinforced Cougars from Wash
ington State take on the sur
prising Idaho Vandals in a Sat
urday nighter. Since Bishop .re
joined the Cougars after three
years' army service, they
dropped a two-pointer Monday
night to Oregon State, then ran
away from the Beavers Tuesday
night. Idaho won their only
previous encounter.
If the Vandals can turn the
trick again they have a chance
to forge into at least a tie for
first, place depending, of
course, on what happens with
Washington at Eugene.
Pittsburgh's
Grid Pot
Rumbling
PITTSBURGH. Jan. 31 P)
The University of Pittsburgh's
smouldering - iootball cauldron
was bubbling today with the
resignations of all three of the
school's assistant - coaches: but
there's an "if' attached: --'
The trio Charles-(Doc) Hart
lig, Bobby Hoel and Stan Olenn
told Athletic Director James
Hagan yesterday that they "do
not care" to continue coaching
if Clark Shaughnessy comes
back next season as head mentor.
Hagan said the three assistants
had tried to resign last Novem
ber 8 but that he had persuaded,
them to remain for the rest of
the 1945 -season. He said their
action was referred to the faculty
committee on athletics. :
Shaughnessy said he had 16
official word of the resignations,
and added that he would not quit
as head coach. -
"This doesn't mean we don't
want to be associated with the
university," the assistants .de
clared. "It's just that we don't
want to work with him (Shaugh
Alturas Quintet
Still A Jinx
To Lakeview
LAKEVIEW The Alturas
high-school-quintet, which has
been more or less of a jinx to
Lakeview high for a number of
years, continued in that role last
Saturday night when the Braves
plucked the Lakeview Honkers,
24 to 23, in a razzle-dazzle game
on Hhe local, court ... ,-.
Leading 20-16 at the end of the
third- quarter, the Braves were
hard' pressed in the final stanza
when Lakeview came within a
single point of tying up the score
in the last minute of play.
Sherman at center bucketed
four field goals to pace the win
ners," and Moe with a brace of
field goals and gift shots bagged
six points for Lakeview.
Lakeview's second stringers,
however, evened up matters by
taking a 37-35 decision from Al
turas' B team. Cooper scored
12 points for Lakeview and Burton-
15 for Alturas. '
Monty Stratton .
Back In Baseball '
SHERMAN, Tex.,' Jan. 31 UP)
Monty Stratton, who was with
the Chicago White Sox for four
seasons before a hunting accident
ended his major league career,
has signed a contract with Sher
man of the class C East Texas
league.
Stratton lost his right leg in
the winter of 1938 but has been
able to handle himself well
enough on an artificial limb to
do some pitching since that time.
Last year he starred in the
Houston post semi-pro tourna
ment, hurling one four-hit shut
out.. -
The East Texas league has
passed a rule allowing Stratton
to have a runner when he gets
on base.
No Legal
Fireworks
At Fight
NEW YORK,. Jan.- 31 UP)
Just as most everyone suspected.
there'll be no legal fireworks at
Madison Square Garden tomor
row night when Freddie "Red
Cochrane and Marty Servo bat
tle for the welterweight chain-pionship.
Early in the week Bobby
Quinn, an associate of Fritzie
Zivic, brought an action in New
York supreme court seeking 25
percent - of Cochrane's earnings
on a contract he claims Red
signed before he won the title
from Zivic at Newark, N. J
back in June. 1941.
This disturbed Willie Gilzen-
berg, Cochrane s manager. He
asserted that unless steps were
taken to protect Red's end of the
purse -from attachment on Fri
day, the fight was off.
With Cochrane assured $30,-
000 from the anticipated gate of
$100,000 if he wins and S50,
000, under a private agreement
with Servo in case he loses
few of the boys on Jacobs Beach
took seriously Gilzenberg's
threat to cancel the fight.
Sure enough, the situation was
straightened out last night. Ziv
ic said in Pittsburgh he had
talked on the telephone against
Cochrane's purse tomorrow.
Meantime both boys finished
their training with light limber
ing up exercises, Cochrane at his
Summit, N. J., camp and Servo,
a Schenectady, N. Y., lad, at the
CYO gym here. Servo is a 5 to
13 favorite.
Hockey Player
Gets Gambling
Hearing
TORONTO, Jan. 31 ; VP)
Walter "Babe" Pratt's appeal for
a hearing on his expulsion from
organized hockey has been grant
ed by Mervyn "Red" Dutton,
president of the National Hockey
league. Dutton said it was not
yet decided whether the hearing
would De field before a special
meeting of the board of gover
nors or at the board's scheduled
meeting in New York February
15.
Pratt, " star Toronto defense
player, was expelled Tuesday on
charges he violated the rules
against gambling. He denied he

the game.
Oregon Joyvees
Still Undefeated
EUGENE, Jan. 31 (IP) The
Oregon junior varsity basketball
squad kept its record of unde
feated status clear last night by
turning the Farmers Creamery
team, Eugene, 67 to 53, for their
third win in a row.
Del Smith paced the Oregon
Jayvees with 15 points but Eddie
Salstrom hooped a total 18 for
the creamery team to carry game

Nostalgia For Cypress Gardens
By PAUL HAINES
A picture on the sports page
of last night's Herald and News
showing two men sailing through
the air with the greatest of ease
on water skis at Cypress Gar
dens, Florida, brought back old
memories and prompted us to
write a yarn about that sport.
The names of the two men in
the picture were Bob Wheeler
and Malcolm Pope. We had
never heard of the former man
but Malcolm Pope we know well.
Several years ago we worked
at the Cypress Gardens, a few
miles out of Winter Haven, mak
ing Grantland Rice Sportlights.
Pope was also in the films along
with many others.
The Cypress Gardens itself
was converted from a desolate
swamp into one of the outstand
ing scenic attractions in the state
of Florida by Dick Pope, Mal
colm's brother.
Canals' are cut through the
Gardens with bridges made of
cypress spanning the water and
one of the stunts this scribe per
formed was jumping these
bridges on an aquaplane some
times erroneously called a surf
board. (Aquaplanes are pulled by
speedboats while surfboards arc
used entirely to ride the waves
with no additional locomotion.)
In making an aquaplane or
water ski jump, a slide is at
tached to a "bridge, nailed be
tween two adjacent trees, or
floated on empty drums, accord
ing to the type of jump to be
made.
The boat then cither takes the
rider as close to the Jump as
possible it it is floated, or goes
directly under the bridge if It is
thnt type oi stunt.
Skis are harder to handle than
a' board because of the two sep
arate units which must be con-
trolled and the leup that was
shown in the picture is nn ex.
tremcly difficult one to make
successfully. The skis tend to
separate while in the air in much
the same manner as do the more
orthodox, but no less dangerous,
snow skis.
During the several Sportlights
which we helped make, Pope was
Nation's Game Population
Grows Faster Than Hunters
- WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (,?)
The nation's big game popula
tion is increasing faster than the
number of potential hunters.
The fish-and wildlife service
reported today that all. animals
classified as big game totaled 7,
148,422 in 1943, an increase of
5.9 per cent over 1941. In the
same period the human popula
tion gained less than one per
cent.
The service has been makine
annual censuses of big game ani
mals since 1937. Because of the
large number of separate counts
involved, reports from the 1944
inventory have not been tabu
lated, and the taking of the 1945
inventory has not been complet
ed. ...
Pennsylvania had the -largest
game population in 1943, 1,104,
655 -animals, nearly all deer.
Michigan ranked second with
731,407, Minnesota third . with
631,877, California fourth with
597,625 and Oregon fifth with
584.261.
Kansas was listed as the only
state having no big game.

But even his disregard for per

by the recklessness of Bob East

We recall that the Grantland
